Eeeew, tires look too skinny on the rear with the wide wheels. This is kinda dissapointing :(

Here's to hoping they offer a Vinyl delete. Looks cheap when you wrap an entire car panel in vinyl. Including the ZL1 wheels was f'n smart tho. Those wheels..... *drool*

2013 1LE Camaro
The flat black hood is over the top. Maybe it can be deleted during the order process.

Flat/Matte Black Hood = No/Less glare
Tire stretching has its reasons as well -- but, in this case, it could just be using the ZL1 wheels with a square tire. 285 on 11" wheel = stretched some. Reusing available parts from the ZL1 would help with mfg costs. |

Per the specs, yes. ZL1 wheel/tire is staggered. 1LE, for its purpose and intent, will run square tire. But, to keep costs inline. I'd say they just pulled ZL1 wheels and ran front tires. The wheels have offset to deal with (so, no F/F wheel setup on the 1LE), the tires just have a little stretch to deal with.

1LE doesn't stand for anything. It was a package in the 80's though it wasn't advertised. You had to pick certain options like no air conditioning stuff like that. It had 220 some hp the most powerful Camaro you could get then. It was basically the COPO of the 80's.

Costs a lot of money to develop a wheel to OE specs. |

The whole "race inspired look" excuse I'm not buying. It makes sense to me that if GM put all that time and money into developing the badass suspension and handling system of this car, that they would not give it a "race inspired look", but rather they would make it completely functional. Though I still agree with you in saying that I'm not crazy about it either. But then again, this is a car developed and built for those who are gonna take it out on the track and use it for what it was made. Personally, when I get my Camaro, it will probably never see a race track.
